A financial benchmark is an officially published, leading and regulated rate of interest or related measure, from which a rate of interest payable or receivable, or a related amount, is calculated.

The Principles for Financial Benchmarks is a 2013 report by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), designed to address serious concerns about the former LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks.


Among other matters, the Principles for Financial Benchmarks address conflicts of interest, transparency and governance relating to financial benchmarks.
